So it's the beginning of April and something has started to bother you.
You know there's something you need to do; you know you've been putting it off, but you can't quite remember what it is.

"Oh yeah!" you say to yourself, "I forgot to sign up for Shape-shifters 2! It will have a bunch of great people in it that I like playing with and will have a lot of interesting meta-gaming, role-playing, happiness and fun and other stuff that I enjoy doing!"

You can't believe you had forgotten something so crucial! You quickly check the thread... "Oh, good! It starts on April 4th, so I still have 3 days to sign up for this awesome game. Why, I think I'll go do that right now!"

And everyone was happy and there was rejoicing everywhere for all time.

I'm going to have to abandon my April 18th spot. A confluence of unforeseen and terrible events has left me without a steady connection to the internet, nor the job that was supposed to start on Monday thus providing me with the money to pay for said internet.

Yep, I can tether my phone to my computer for free-ish, and can still get on to play. But running a game is beyond the scope of my fragile sanity right now...

I once had to coordinate a game while my comp was down.
My phone at the time wasn't quite powerful enough to handle the forums though. It would begin to load the page, and the virtual memory would fill. But I could get enough of it to get into my options. So I went in there and set it to email me whenever a new post was posted in that thread.
I did the same for PMs.
Then I set my phone to alert me whenever I got a new email.
Then every time I got an email, I had to read it to see if it was for the game, and if it was I had to log into the forums to reset it so that I would get the next one when it was posted.
I didn't miss too many of the posts, from what I remember.
Correspondence between team members happened via IMs, which I also had set up on my phone.

Utter chaos.
And I was the devil for this game, so I kinda had to stay on top of things.
Even more chaos.
And the game in question? LLD.
Completely unimaginable chaos.

Try coordinating a team in a game like that in the manner I described and then complain to me.
Suck it up buttercup.
